Since their late-'90s reunion, Styx has been the subject of countless budget-priced compilations. And as usual, the "compilers" are quite sneaky -- as buyers are fooled into thinking they're buying a compilation of original versions, before finding out that the versions are from the latter-day live releases. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that, for the most part, 2001's Yesterday Today fits this description. Plucking selections from three different albums -- Return to Paradise, Brave New World, and the half Styx/half REO Speedwagon Arch Allies, Yesterday Today mixes the classics ("Grand Illusion," "Too Much Time on My Hands," "Fooling Yourself") with the newer studio tracks ("Number One," "Best New Face," and more). Also included is a bonus video. Greg Prato, All Music Guide
